Women-only train carriages England

Women's Minister Nicky Morgan,"very uncomfortable" with the idea of bringing them back.
"It seems to me not to tackle the issue, which is that women should feel safe and be free from harassment on public transport."

Yvette Cooper, "Just got off tube. Majority of passengers women. Why should we have to shut ourselves away to stay safe?"

Andy Burnham, "In this day and age, we shouldn't be even considering the idea of segregated train travel. As a Dad of two young girls, I want to see a proper society-wide strategy on tackling violence against women.
"We need sufficiently funded police forces, especially the British Transport Police, and investment in practical measures like better lighting to ensure safety at all times."

Liz Kendall, "I don’t believe that gender segregation is the answer. That'd be an admission of defeat, rather than a sustainable solution."


I do rather agree the comments above.
